Don't worry about it - I used the version of lvm that comes on the
2004.3 livecd and all went well - only to discover that FC1 doesn't
support lvm2 so when I booted back into FC1 it didn't recognise my lvm
partitions and so didn't boot any further ...
Not to worry - I just learnt lots about software raid and lvm2 from the
gentoo how-to!
